Tom Farrell is a navy officer who gets posted at the Pentagon and is to report to the secretary of defence David Brice. He
starts an affair with Susan Atwell not knowing that she is Brice's mistress. When Susan is found dead, Tom is assigned to
the case of finding the killer who is believed to be a KGB mole! Tom could soon become a suspect when a polaroid negative
of him was found at Susan's place. He now has only a few hours to find the killer before the computer regenerates the photo.--Sami

Clark Gifford is a disaffected politician in a nameless, media-driven modern state where representative politics has dwindled
to the corrupt transaction of business as usual, and a foreign war is always breaking out on the horizon. One night Gifford
and some of his followers seize radio stations to broadcast a call for freedom -- a rebellion that is immediately put down
by the government and whose motive will remain forever obscure. Even so, it leads to twenty years of war

"This adventurous volume, with its companion devoted to the 1950s, presents a rich vein of modern American writing too often
neglected in mainstream literary histories. Evolving out of the terse and violent hardboiled style of the pulp magazines,
noir fiction expanded over the decades into a varied and innovative body of writing. Tapping deep roots in the American literary
imagination, the novels in this volume explore themes of crime, guilt, deception, obsessive passion, murder, and the disintegrating
psyche. With visionary and often subversive force they create a dark and violent mythology out of the most commonplace elements
of modern life. The raw power of their vernacular style has profoundly influenced contemporary American culture and writing.
Far from formulaic, they are ambitious works which bend the rules of genre fiction to their often experimental purposes."--Jacket
